In pics: YOUR October snow pics

People across the country were shocked to see snowflakes falling so early in the year. Here's Ricky enjoying the white stuff where he lives in Hertfordshire. WE ARE NOT ACCEPTING ANYMORE PICS ON THIS SUBJECT.

Ben sent in this picture of his snow-covered back garden to show how much fell in Birmingham. But what did it look like where YOU live? Send us your pics!

Check out this perfect snow scene in Surrey, sent in by Mike. He said he was amazed when the rain stopped, and the snow began to stick on the ground.

Newsround's Maddy had fun making this snowman outside her house... but have you been busy making your own?

Ten-year-old Bethany from Hertfordshire has, she sent in this pic of her smart snowman dressed up in a scout scarf!

Bethany also sent in the picture of an early morning snowball fight at 7.30am!

Emma, 11, from Farnham in Surrey sent us this picture of her snowy back garden
